Wenk: I know not how far away the plains are, as I have never been here, but I know those that have, such as Wezza. On your fast steed, it may take only two days, or three. There is plenty of forest in all directions. And the beasts with the waves on their blades may have scouts in the woods.

NOTE: Okay, you have several weapons. Armel, you and Bluefang each have a pistol, you fire the rear machinegun on the back of the speeder, and Wenk has his javelin and knife. Not enough to face more than a hundred Damugians, but enough to face at least a squad or two. Remember: They have speeders as well.
